Call to Arms: Gates of Hell - Ostfront looks good. RTS with direct command.

I literally just bought the regular CTA game 2 days ago lmao

I think any fan of the genre should check out

store.steampowered.com/app/334920/ZeroK/

Active development, amazing and customizable controls (seriously, is you’ve ever been frustrated fighting controls in an RTS, they’ve thought of solutions), and an extensive campaign that serves as a unit tutorial (not the most engaging story is my only regret).

When it comes to controls, the number one thing I’m looking for is controller support, but I don’t see the tag there. I don’t suppose they’re supported and just not listed?

solarvector,

Nope, sorry, didn’t think about that for an RTS. Is definitely designed for keyboard and mouse.

codexarcanum,

Looks like another fan of TA/SC grew up to make their own RTS, and I’m here for all of them!

gccalvin,

I keep hearing about ZeroK and Beyond All-Reason. What are the major differences between the two and how do these compare with Sup Com FAF, TA and such?

False,

Zero K is uglier but has a full campaign, more units, and is less micro intensive.

BAR has better graphics and tiers of units ala classic TA (zero K is flatter), and more active multiplayer.

They both have Total Annihilation as a distant ancestors.

LOL OP thinks kids still know how to use computers with physical keyboards.

Gen Z can barely operate them, and Gen Alpha can’t even read, let alone figure out a desktop PC; imagine how stupid kids in the 2070s are going to be.

lobut,

I remember Thor from PirateSoftware talking about that … a lot of kids only know touchscreens.

At work, I use a databank interface that’s so old, Alt+F4 is save changes. Guess it’s from before the standard arose

Transtronaut, do gaming w How dare you

I still recall how, as a fresh-faced, young gamer just getting into the newfangled realm of online multiplayer, I got absolutely got in Everquest when somebody told me you could get a numeric representation of your current experience points by typing “/ex”.

It was actually short for “/exit”. And in those days, it took a loooooooooooooooooong time to relaunch the game and get logged back in. Learned a valuable lesson about human nature that day. It has served me well.

RagnarokOnline,

It is an initiation we all must pass through. Nothing delights me more than delivering that initiation to others.

Transtronaut,

Unfortunately, this was before xkcd. If I’d known about the “lucky 10,000”, I might have been more philosophical about it at the time.

Muun,

Man, I really miss EverQuest. Wish I could go back to my teens and relive those days.

I still regularly play the same character I started with nearly 26 years later. I still love that game.

orris,

‘Type disco into console for lights’ for CS

renegadespork,

I got people with ‘/qui gon jinn’ in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy.

It runs ln the Quake 3 engine, so it would just ignore everything after the space and auto complete the closest command, which was ‘/quit’ which instantly quit the game.

I got so many people because it seems like a plausible cheat code in a Star Wars game.

‘/disco’ to dance got a lot of people too.

Lawnman23,

Entering disco in Warcraft 2 lit up this bad boy:

Good times.

That’s a top tier prank

blind3rdeye,

check past messages with “/log”

gerbler,

First week playing WoW and some goober told me to try the camp emote. /camp quits the game and I quickly learned my lesson. Wasn’t even mad.

The first time I was hit with something like this, I was playing Doom and my dad said if I pressed CTRL+ALT+DELETE, I could access the cheats.

This was back when it didn’t come up with the little prompt and some options, that command straight up reset the PC.

Cenzorrll,

It was a dark day when the three-fingered salute was nerfed.

a smaller demographic be like “tf kinda nonsensical bugshit r u talkin bout bro alt+f4 lol its cmd+q you silly fuck lol alt f4 deez nuts in ur mom u daft cunt”

SLVRDRGN,
@SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world avatar

There’s a reason it’s a small demographic.

don,
@don@lemm.ee avatar

Yes, it’s because there are fewer people that are familiar with the cmd+q shortcut than there are those familiar with alt+f4. It’s possible that even fewer still have ever even used QNX Neutrino, back when it fit on a standard 1.44 3.5, let alone are even familiar at all with an RTOS.

So yes, your point stands.
